Things may have meandered a lot without much happening in the last couple books but to me, it seemed that by the last third of Dance, things were finally being set up to really move forward in the next book. I certainly hope for something more akin to A Storm of Swords!

There are several people out there with that theory. Interestingly, I've been reading the TWoP forums for the TV Show, and in the unspoiled speculation thread someones mentioned they think that Lyanna and Rhaegar had an affair, though they didn't draw the conclusion that Jon could have been their child.

He needs an editor or someone else to tell him that he doesn't need to do shit like taking 2 pages to describe what's on the menu for one meal.

Looks like Martin is going to be writing a comic book for Avatar Press.
Yay! Something else to keep him from writing "The Winds of Winter!"

It is never going to happen. I really hope the show catch up to GRRM and he is forced to let them continue without the book. I love the show but after the last 2 books, I don't think he will ever regain the glory that is Storm of Swords.

I honestly believe that season 6 will have to be at least partially Winds of the Winter. After that epic showdown in Astapor how long can they string along audience before Daenerys finally makes it to Westeros.

I'm pretty sure Feast and Dance will be combined so the show isn't going for a huge stretch without major characters, and will be covered by two seasons. You have to admit, the final scene of season 6 with (spoiled in case people haven't read through all the books yet)
would be pretty cool!

I just finished reading AFFC. While it wasn't the great tome that was Storm, I didn't hate as many other appear to have. While I know it wouldn't really work on the show, I think it would be kind of neat if they did a flat out adaptation of Feast for season five and then actually

Did anyone catch GRRM's interview on Conan? They talked very briefly about the next book. He said it's a 1500 page monster like the last book, though I don't know if that means it's going to be that long when he's finished, or he's written that many pages. Also, he said he's trying to write as fast as he can, because he's afraid that if he doesn't, the show will catch up to him.

Just finished A Dance with Dragons last night. Not sure on this book. So far I think Storm was the best of the series. Too much going on in this book and many PoV chapters from characters that I didn't know much about, if anything. Also, the book ends on a pretty big cliffhanger that I'm curious to see how it plays out.

I think a lot of people share that feeling, though I've seen several people comment that Feast and Dance were much better on re-reading. Storm is just so full of action, and there really aren't many big pivotal scenes in the newest two books. It's just people moving around and getting into place for The Winds of Winter, which I hope and expect will be more like Storm in terms of things happening.

GRRM needs to stop getting distracted by Prequels.

Continuing to speculate on what he might write if he ever were to do a prequel, Martin said, "But I might go back earlier and write something about Aegon and his sisters, or Aegon the Unworthy with his nine mistresses. There is lots of material if I want to go back and write about Westeros." But first, of course, Martin has two more books to complete: The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. "That's going to take awhile," he said, noting that HBO's ongoing adaptation is expediting the process. "The locomotive is coming and I'm still laying down the tracks," he joked.

Maybe he needs to consider engaging a team of writers to help him to fulfill his implied commitment to his readership.
Better to do that now rather than on his deathbed methinks!

Now GRRM is saying on his blog that it will be an abridged version of "The Princess and the Queen" that will be in the anthology, and a full version of the story will be released later on
